Own a Piece of the WorldThe Geopieces marketplace will give users a way to make money off of their virtual property based on the visits to their map real estate. Buying a piece of the world will also help you highlight your content, which can be directly added to your piece of the world, the aptly named Geopiece.The goal of Geopieces is to create the world´s greatest marketplace for virtual estate and give users the chance to present their business and their life in a real location based sense. This is achieved by splitting the whole world map into squared virtual properties based on the cartesian coordinate system. These resulting Geopieces can be bought, sold and traded on the marketplace and you can earn interest on your property if people like to visit your piece.Currently most of the best places on the world map are still up for grabs and each new user receives enough credits to buy one Geopiece for free. The price per piece is currently $1 but this is a limited time offer. There is already a trend that claimed Geopieces end up in the market for up to 50 times of the original price. So you should better grab your favourite place really quick.
